Episode 101: AI vs. AI in Cybersecurity: Why Continuous Validation Is Now Essential

Episode 101: AI vs. AI in Cybersecurity: Why Continuous Validation Is Now Essential

In this forward-looking Episode 101 of the Cybersecurity Readiness Podcast Series, Dr. Dave Chatterjee is joined by Snehal Antani—CEO and Co-Founder of Horizon3.ai and former Chief Technology Officer at Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC)—to examine the rapidly emerging reality of AI-versus-AI cyber warfare.

As AI dramatically compresses attacker dwell time and lowers the skill barrier for sophisticated intrusions, traditional defensive postures are proving insufficient. Drawing on real-world demonstrations and national-security-grade operational experience, Antani explains how offensive AI is transforming cyber risk by enabling attackers to move at machine speed, scale attacks indiscriminately, and expose systemic weaknesses in organizational defenses.

Framed through Dr. Chatterjee’s Commitment–Preparedness–Discipline (CPD) lens, the episode reframes cybersecurity readiness as a continuous validation discipline—one that demands organizations train like they fight, reduce blast radius, and build muscle memory for inevitable breaches. The conversation delivers a clear message: in the age of autonomous threats, resilience belongs to organizations that continuously test themselves faster than adversaries can exploit them.
